Always Remember - Cathryn Grant

Rating: 4 stars

Format: Kindle Unlimited

Challenge: None

Spoilers: yes

A wife and husband deal with the consequences once his parents move in, starting with the horrible accident of the fathers death. Accident?

This book made me so angry. It’s told from three points of view, the mother in law, the husband and the wife but it’s mostly the wife’s point of view. I hated the mother in law, the husband was a clueless dolt and the wife was irritating. I hated them all at different parts of the book but it was still a really good book. I wanted to throw it, but in a good way. At the end the mother in law gets what she deserved and the husband and wife are back together and thriving. I would throw it if it wasn’t on my kindle just because it made me so mad.

The Island - C. L. Taylor

Rating : 3 stars Format : borrowed audiobook (library) Challenge prompt : Book Hoarder 2022 - a borrowed book Spoilers : no The Island follows 6 teens who end up stranded on a deserted island and their phobias begin coming true. Or do they? The writing of the teenagers was well done, and I liked the different viewpoints. The big reveal at the end was a bit…. Overdone. It was still surprising, I didn’t guess it but it’s not so rare. This book was ok, I read it quickly but it didn’t hold my attention the whole time. But I’d like to read more by this author, they seem to write a bunch of psychological thrillers.

They Both Die At The End - Adam Silvera

Rating : 5 stars Format : owned physical book Challenge prompt: Popsugar2022 - A Booktok recommendation Spoilers : yes This book took me a few months to finish just because the title tells you how it will end and I didnt want to say goodbye to these characters. The love between Rufus and Mateo is so bittersweet. I ugly cried when Mateo died, but we all knew that’s how it would end. This is a wonderful book which reminds us to live while we have the chance - do what you want to, don't let fear stop you. Its lovely but a lesson i think is hard to take onboard for some reason. Recommended for those who love a good cry, bittersweet endings and queerness

Pull - Jaime Winn

Rating : 4 stars Format : ARC ebook from NetGalley Challenge : none Spoilers : sorta Pull tells the story of two teens who are drawn to each other but is it good or is it bad? I liked this book a lot although the whole time I was waiting for some religious nonsense to happen. It didn’t (yet?) but this is the first in a series. I’m interested to see what’s next for Mischa and Casey. I felt for Mischa and what she was going through and I was so very happy with how it ended because I was worried for a bit there. Some shifty happenings are definitely going on so I’ll be looking out for the next book! I feel this was all just set up for the main happenings in the series.
